Michael H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer

For beginning students, I start with the traditional Mel Bay (or comparable) beginner books that focus on the fundamentals while building strength and coordination and just build from there.  For students with a little more experience, I like to focus on more challenging exercises and concepts while nurturing their knowledge of music theory and performance.  Each student is different and knowing what motivates them motivates me.  My goal is to have them want to pick up their instrument and play.

Ernesto A

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 4 years ago, and have been consistently teaching to students of all different ages. The beautiful thing about teaching is the uniqueness of the process regarding every student. Every student is a different and unique artistic being, therefore, the perception of music is also unique. I love to nourish that uniqueness, incentivizing the student's natural abilities. Read More

Briana L

Instruments: Piano Voice

This summer I was the music director and vocal coach for The Little Mermaid. My students are encouaraged to push outside their boundaries and discover new techniques and styles that they never thought they could accomplish. I use positive reinforcement, character work, and classical rooted techniques to develop a healthy singing technique that will keep the voice strong and growing. I specialize in Musical Theater belting and is my most passionate field of vocal study. Read More

Noor J

Instruments: Piano

I use the Faber method for my beginner students. Sometimes with students who are 4 or 5 years I use the pre-beginners books from Alfred. Other times I use the Suzuki method, depending on the level of understanding. Alongside those books, I use technique books to build good, strong hand especially for young kids. As we move along I start giving solo repertoire from different eras of music to introduce the student to different kinds of music from different composers. Read More

Svetlana S

Instruments: Piano

I start beginners off with Frances Clark, The Music Tree Series. I also use the Faber-Faber Piano Adventures and Helen Marlais' Succeeding at the Piano. As students progress, I focus on repertoire pieces issuing from the baroque, classical, romantic, and modern eras as to introduce students to the history of music. Important components of home-practice include sight-reading and technique-building exercises. I also encourage sight-singing as a way of developing the student's ear. Read More

Ellen C

Instruments: Piano Oboe Bassoon

I come from a family of teachers, and I started sharing my love of music with family and friends at a very early age. I was section leader in high school and assistant concert master at a local church orchestra. During and after college, I worked with a company that provided group piano lessons at Detroit Public Schools. A nearby high school band recruited me to tutor their double reeds section. Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

Everything stems from the goal(s) set. We work out a plan to reach those goals and a realistic pace to move at. I also leave room for and expect a moving goal post. Inspiration is heavy the more concepts are successfully explored and understood. I expect the best from my students; nothing more, nothing less. We will not downplay accomplishments or progress, especially when things take longer than expected. Read More

Robert C

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
The Blues. I love a lot of genres, especially classic rock from the 1960s and 1970s and I enjoy writing songs in that genre. I absolutely love The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Doors, The Beatles and those are probably my favorite to listen to, however nothing compares to playing the Blues. It flows out of me naturally and puts me in a meditative like state. Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Mississippi Fred McDowell, and perhaps most importantly, Robert Johnson, those Bluesman created what was to become Rock and Roll. Chuck Berry sped up the 12 bar blues, added cool lead guitar parts and loud guitar solos and boom! You have Rock and Roll. I love playing the Blues and I am in it for life. Even if it's on my front porch with my dog, I'll be playing the Blues for however much time I have.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Well, I started off on saxophone while in 4th grade for the school band. My grandfather, who is a professional drummer heard that I had rhythm, so under his tutelage, I began playing the drums and became an exceptional drummer. While I was playing drums for a band that started while I was in 8th grade and lasted through high school, I started picking up the guitarists guitar and learned a few things from the two guitarists and kept going with it and began teaching myself and even started to write songs for the group. I was lucky to have a first band like I had, because we were all versatile and we all wanted to learn all the instruments. Later on in life, in more serious bands, I had to learn how to pick up any instrument while in the studio. A lot of experiments go on while recording, so if a song needed a little of this or a little of that, I was usually the first one to give it a go.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I only know my family's musical history starting in the 20th century, but the word is, my family goes back further than that, particularly on my maternal grandfathers family. In the early 1900's, practically right off the boat from Europe I know of my grandfather's great uncle John and his son were jazz bassists and reached professional status, playing on records and were members of the Musicians union. My grandfather also had another uncle who was a professional saxophonist and he too was a part of the union. My grandfather was a professional drummer and landed his first big gig in 1955 at the 500 club in Atlantic city, owned by "Skinny" DiAmata and played alongside legends like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and many others. He was there for about 5 years and continued to play professionally into the 1990s. Although, my uncles can play the drums, they never did anything with it, but along came me. It's important to me to keep my family's musical legacy alive by passing on the gift of music by teaching it to the younger generations (or older, for that matter,) and keeping the spirit of real music played with real instruments alive. As well as being an experienced music teacher, I was in a few gigging bands, one of which wrote songs used in BMX movies sold all around the world.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Well, I kind of stumbled into it as a teenager. It was my first band and I was the drummer. I had Doug Sabolic (A Life Once Lost) on guitar and vocals as well as two other very talented and versatile musicians. We all knew how to play eachothers instruments to a pretty high degree and that's how I got into playing guitar. I started writing songs for that band and when we split up, I kept playing more and more guitar while still practicing the drums. I was basically just a musician and really didn't take part in the financial side of things until later on. For instance if I put X amount of dollars into t shirts and we sell out, than I get this much back. Same with the cover charges at the door. If you see 200 people that came out for you, make sure you get paid what you're owed. My most successful band had a following right away because the rhythm guitarist/vocalist was a major professional BMX rider and I was also professional, but not as high profile as he was. The BMXers loved us and we did very well, packing the Khyber in Olde City Philadelphia PA. We also composed songs for BMX movies sold all around the world.
